Milan
16th Century palazzo
A building that underwent a great deal of later modification, it was identified in 1976. It belongs to the new wave of city architecture promoted by the pro-French areas of power in the early decades of the 16th century. The architectural programme is based on the artistic work of Cesariano and Cristoforo Solari, and possibly that of Luini, and it became the epitome of new classical culture. A location for the highest echelons of humanism, it belonged to Giovan Angelo Salvatico: the palazzo represents a combination of "ancient" motifs (the octagonal atrium with light from above) and solutions devised by the Rome architect Bramante (such as the use of the Doric order in the inner courtyard).
